ISO 4759-3:2016 specifies tolerances for flat washers of product grades A, C and F with nominal diameters of 1 mm to 150 mm inclusive, designed to be used in bolted joints in combination with bolts, screws, studs and nuts.

This part of ISO 4759 may be applied to non-flat washers however it does not include all the tolerances related to these washers.

It applies to non-captive and captive washers, and to standard and non-standard washers.

It does not apply to dynamic disc springs.

Washers of product grades F and A are intended to be used with bolts, screws, studs and nuts of product grades A and B; washers of product grade C are intended to be used with bolts, screws, studs and nuts of product grade C.

NOTE The product grade refers to a specific tolerance range related to dimensional and geometrical characteristics (product grade F for fine tolerances, product grade A for precise tolerances, product grade C for large tolerances).

Annex A presents tolerances taken from ISO 286‑1 and ISO 286‑2.
